Quoting Taylan Develioglu (percival () DEVNULL NL):
To get to the point, does icq utilize some form of spyware no one has noticed untill now? Do earlier versions exhibit this kind of behaviour as well? Why me not others?
ICQ 2000b and probably a too are able to do 'automatic software upgrades'. A while ago a little '*NEW* SMS!' button appeared in my ICQ window, next to the 2 buttons to select grouped mode and show-offline-too mode... I also discovered that you can disable these 'automatic upgrades' in the personal preferences menu. (!) It scared me as much as when playing a MPEG movie with Windows Media Player and all of the sudden a box pops up telling you there are new components to be installed... *ARGH* The program didn't even ASK to check...
